Oops...

Cast: Jolanda Modio, Franco Cobianchi, Marilù Tolo, Paolo Gozlino

From THE MAGNIFICENT GLADIATOR: even though it seems harmless this mistake is quite bad since the entire scene is built up with the (fake) Emperor (Franco) switching cups since he suspects it to be poisoned (by Jolanda). The audience is made to look pacifically at the cup and we can clearly see the replacement cup is empty even though all cups on the table were filled as Jolanda casually picks a cup and drinks from it, not realizing it's the poisoned one switched by Franco. Oops...
